 That we may emphasize and clearly explain the relation the kidneys sustain to the general health, and how much IS dependent upon them, we propose, met aphorically speaking, to take one from the human body, place in the wash bowl before us, and examine it for the public benefit.
 You will imagine that we have before us body shaped like bean, smooth and glistening, about four inches in length, two in width and one in thick ness. It ordinarily weighs in the adult male about five ounces, but is somewhat lighter in the female. A small organ? you say. But understand, the body Of the average size man contains about nn quarts of blood, of uhich erery drop poses through these fIteg or, ssi0ers, as they may be called, nluay times q day, as often as the heart, making complete revolution in three minutes. From the blood they separate the waste material, working away steadily night and; day, sleeping or waking, tireless as the heart itself, and fully of as much importance; ESLuONlDR lllCs ltOit yN's Ions of blood each hour, or about forty nine barrels each day, or 9;l25 hogs heads 6 year! What wonder that the kidneys can last any length of time under this prodigious strain, treated and neglected as they are? ''.- '~ ~r-s'.'
 We. slice this delicate organ open lengthwise withom knife and will rough ly describe its interior:
 H A, |. ~e Sh-hr color, sott and easily torn. filled witli hundreds of little tuhes, short and thread-like, starting from the arteries, ending in a little tuft about midway from ths outside opening of 8 cavity of con- siderable size, which is called the pelVis, or, roughly speaking, sack, which IS for the purpose of holding the water to further undergo purification before 1t paases down from here into, the ureters, and 20 on to the outside of the body. These little tnhes are the filters which do their work automatically, and right here is Whsre ;hs disedSe ot ilC Kidney trst begins. :, they ure obliged 10, from the slightest irregulsrity in our habits, from cold, rem high living, from stimulants or g thousand and one other causes which occur every day, they become somewhat weakened in tbeir nerve force.
 What is tlie result? Congestion or stoppage of the current of blood in the small blood vessels surrounding them, | which become blocked; these delicate membranes are irrilated; inflammation Is SC. up, then rus is formed, which,col- lects in the pelvis or SAC; the tubes are q. first partially, and soon Are totally, unable to do their work. The pelvic sac goes on distending with this corrup- tion, pressing upon the blood vessels. | All this time, remember, the blood, which is entering the kidneys to be fil- tered, is pass:ng ti.rough btis terrible, dis sastfmg pus, for it cannot take any other route
 Stop and think of it for moment. Do you realize the importance, nay the vital necessity, of having the kidneys in eSder? Can you expect when they are diseased or obstrrcted, no matter how little, thet you csD have pure blood and escape dtsease' T. would be just as rea- senable to expect, fl pest-house were set across Broadway and countless thou sands were compelled to go through it's 1 pestilential doors, and escape from copta- | gion and disease, as for one to expect | the blood to escape pollution when coli stansly running through diseased kid., ney.
 Now, what is the result? Why. that the blood takes up and deposits this | poison as it sweeps along into every organ, into every inch of muscle, tissue. flesh and bone, from your head to your feet. And whenever, from hereditary influence or oGhewise, some part of the body is weaker than another, countless trai.. of diseases is established, such as consumption in weak lungs, dyspepsia, where there is delicate stomach ; nervousness, insanity, paralysis or heart disease in those who nave weak, nerves. The heart must soon .teel ths effects of the poison, as tt requires pure blood Co keep tt in right action. It increases it's stroke in number and force to compensate for the natural stimulua wanting, in it's en- deavor to crowd the impure blood through theis obstruction, causing pain, palpitation, or an out-of-breath feeling Unnatural as this forced labor is, the heart must soon falter, becoming weaker and weaker until one day it suddenly steps, and death from apparent "heart disease" is the verdict. "A But the medical profession, learned and dignified, call these diseases by high sounding names, treat them alone, and patients die, for the arteries are carrying slow death 10 the aGected ports, constantly adding fuel brought from these suppurat- ing, pus-laden kidneys which here in our wash-howl are very putrefaction itself, and which should have been cured first.
 But this is not all the kidneys have to do; for you must remember that each adult takes about seven pounds of nourishment every twenty-four hours to supply the waste of the body which is constantly going on, waste equal to the Guantity taken. This, too, the kidne, have to SC" ara,e from the blood with ali other decompoeing matter.
 But you say, "M, kidneys are all right. 1 have TO pain in the back" Mistaken man. Pcor!e die of, kidney iiseare of so bad cha"a that the organs are rotten, and yet they have nsrer there had q pain or on ache
 Why? Because the disease begins, as VIC have shown, in the interior of tha kidneys, where ihere are te,U nerves oy feeling 10 convey ihr sensation of pain Why this Is 70 w, m"y never know.
 When you consider their great work, tue delicacy oi their structure, the ease with which they are deranged, can you wonder at the ill-heath of our men and
